Rebeca Méndez is an artist, designer, and professor and chair at UCLA, Design Media Arts, where she is founder and director of the Counterforce Lab, a research and fieldwork studio for art, design and environment. Her research and practice investigates design and media art in public space, critical approaches to public identities and landscape, and artistic projects based on field investigation methods. Méndez’s diverse works are driven by her interest in perception and embodied experience and they develop within science, design and art through immersive installations, sound, video, photography, book arts, and drawing, with focus on post-humanism, eco-feminism, indigeneity, and environmental justice.
